This is a SINGLE 15-second exposure of lighting over Central Texas, the morning of May 31, 2024. While the storms were not classed as severe, the lightning certainly was intense!
Nikon D750, Nikkor 24-120mm lens.
As i was tucking myself in for a good night sleep, i was rudely awakened. So i grabbed my camera, screwed it on a tripod and fired away.
My very first lightning shots.
Good night, folks! :)
Had quite a storm move through just after sunset this evening . Most of the show was high in the clouds but there were a few direct hits .
Taken with Fujifilm X-T3 movie mode at 4 fps, iso 1250, exp (0.25 sec) using a Fujifilm 16-55mm f/2.8 @ 23mm and f/5.6.
This is a screen capture of 2 consecutive frames.
I am impressed that I can capture this detail in such a short exposure. Of course I could have used a longer exposure with a lower iso but there is always a chance that the lightning will be over exposed or perhaps get more than one strike.

I've wanted for a while to try to take photos of lightning. So last night I saw a lot of cloud-cloud lightning, I tried to take photos of it... not bad for first attempt...
Distant lightning over the North sea last night lights up the clouds on the horizon.
The Reddish dot just above the clouds is Mars, the dotted trail higher up are the nav lights of an aircraft.
Crawler Lightning Over Central Texas, April 26, 2023.
Anvil crawler lightning, sometimes called spider lightning, is created when leaders propagate through horizontally-extensive charge regions in mature thunderstorms, usually the stratiform regions of mesoscale convective systems.
I stepped out my back door to take some photos of lightning. This picture doesn't have a lightning bolt but I'm pretty sure I got a Perseid meteor. It's the only star with a tail.
Fujifilm X-T3, 16-55mm f/2.8. Stack of 7 frames from movie mode @ 4fps (exp 0.25 sec).
Picture of the day
Using a video clip of 9.5 minutes long from a Fujifilm X-T5, 16-55mm f/2.8 lens @ f/5.6 & 55mm, I screen saved the best lightning bolts that failed to reach the ground. There are about 2 dozen frames that were stacked and lightened in Photoshop. Note fireworks on the horizon.
Because these strokes never grounded, their brightness was not blown out. I then took the grounded lightning and stacked 8 images to produce: www.flickr.com/photos/cloud_spirit/54632788645.
Taken 9:21-9:29PM, using a Fujifilm X-T5, 16-55mm f/2.8 lens @ f/8 @ 55mm iso 160, 30 sec exp, I stacked 13 images over a 8 minute period and lightened in Photoshop.
Despite developing rain, fireworks were in full swing.
Heavy rains began ~9:30PM. Received nearly half an inch during the next hour.
I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.
Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...
Got me a picture of lightning!
I love the song "Lampo" by Gianmaria Testa but Lampo means lightning and I don't have any photos of it. But the other day I found this lightning road and hope it fits to the song. Here is a bit in Italian and a bit in English via translation software.
"però la vita é subito
tu mi dici così
si ma la vita é subito
il tempo, soltanto il tempo
di una fotografia
il lampo che abbaglia negli occhi
e non ci vedi più "
"However, life is just this moment
so you say to me
but it is just here and now-
time, only time;
a photo
the lightning flash that dazzles the eyes
and we do not see "
Listen to the song please.
Bolt of the Day (1).
Taken with GoPro 10 @ 240fps in 2.7K mode, wide field. This image took the best 27 frames of a single bolt and stacked / lightened in PhotoShop. The evolution of this anvil crawler can be viewed at: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/52256821316/
F.O.V. is ~130 degrees.

Monday nights storm was supposed to be more fierce than it was. I needed a dry place to sit to take my lightning photos and my sister offered her from porch which faces to the west.
hundreds of lightning strikes were recorded right after dark, but no new forest fires resulted, apparently the lightning stayed in the clouds!
Watching from the beach as a severe storm passed to the north of us throwing out huge bolts of lightning. This was one of many beautiful bolts I captured.
Lightnings are so cool! It reminds us, that whatever we do, it is nothing compared to force of nature. To capture one in the frame, that's always a lot of fun. I like the purple light that comes with it.

Last night we had some lightning storms come through our area. I was not prepared as much as I wish I was as we were busy running around getting things done. I came home and when I jumped out of the shower I was amazed at the amount of lightning we were having. i wish this was a little sharper of an image.
YAY my new power the lightning crystal, I want to give a special thanks to Flame, Genpha. Untamed shark, Shadow, Dark and anyone else who helped me discover my new power!
Wasn't an epic storm but it was moisture and we were thankful for the rain. We were also thankful that the lightning didn't start any fires. I love a good thunderstorm. I love to hear the rumble of the thunder as the lightning lights up the sky. I would prefer those storms happen in the late evening or dark hours as they are easier to photograph but this year, nobody could complain, no matter what time the storms came.
